Beware — some go back awhile!

    8 is Ronaldo for sure.
  • Nelson
    1) Maradona
    2) Sir Bobby Charlton
    3) Baggio
    4) Zidane
    5) Cruyff
    6) Eusebio
    7) Pele
    8) Ronaldo (Fat one)

    I have no idea about 8 actually, but I don't think its Owen b/c I doubt he qualifies as a "legend"
  • If #2 isn't Bobby Charlton, I will eat the photograph of Bobby Charlton that I'm almost certain #2 is.
  • Ak
    mele419: can't you just see that baggio smirk!

    You know what, though? I don't think 2 is Charlton: the eyes look too carefree happy for Charlton. Could it be Vogts?
  • A
    Yeah, I think I'll change my mind too: 3 is not Owen but Baggio.

    AK nice work on 6. It definitely looks like Eusebio.
  • mele419
    there's no way 3 is baggio, i don't see it at all.
  • Ak
    3 is definitely baggio. 2 rings a bell -- it might be bobby charlton. 6 looks like eusebio to me.
  • My God...that is Oscar from the The Office. Good call, Ian.
  • Whoever #6 is, he looks more like Oscar from The Office than anyone. That's not my guess - I'm just saying.
  • Alex
    I think #6 is Cobi Jones. He definitely fits Laurie's definition of 'legend' (164 caps and arguably the face of the US team's rise to respectability in the 90s).
  • SAL
    1. Maradona
    2. B.Charlton
    3. Roberto Baggio
    4. Zidane
    5. Cruyff
    6. V.Basten
    7. Pele (Fifa Puppet)
    8. Beckenbauer

    i guess i spelled them right
    :)
  • A
    I choose Rummenigge as my second option for No.2.
  • mele419
    yeah, I can't believe Cruijff slipped my mind! Definitely number 5!
  • Rob: Not that I admit to anything this early in the game, but :-D
  • Rob
    Good to see Johan Cruyff make a legends list. I could have guessed Zidane would be there without clicking in here :D
  • A
    Maradona
    Sammer
    Owen
    Zidane
    Cruyff
  • #8 could be a young Michael Owen or it could be Rolando Fonseca, but I don't feel good about either answer.
  • To go along with Maradona, Zidane, and Pele:

    #2 is Bobby Charlton.
    Is #3 David Beckham?
    #5 is Johan Cruyff.
  • 5. Cruijff for sure.
  • sidhanth
    1. maradona
    2. sir bobby cgarlton
    3. donadoni?
    4. zidane
    5. looks like crespo
    6. for the sake of guessing rivaldo
    7. pele
    8. ronaldo (fat one)
  • Damn, Sasha, you got it!

    (Just kidding. Fyi.)
  • mele419
    oh, and..
    5 Baggio?
  • Sasha
    2 Steve McClaren...haha
  • mele419
    1 Maradona
    4 Zidane
    7 Pele

    and that's all I've got.
